"Taller structured hats are making a run this season," hat designer Satya Twena wrote me via email when I asked about the trend. "Personally, I have only been wearing super-tall crowns (who doesn't want an extra 3"?) So how can any gal pull off this trend? "I think the key to wearing a hat like these (and most hats) is confidence," advises Twena. "Two rules: Stay focused. Your hat should stand out (if that's its purpose). Stop trying to wear a kick-ass hat AND crazy jewels AND the insanely awesome kicks — it's too much, and you look like you're trying way too hard. 2. Don't match: Unless you're really going for it head-to-toe, and then it should be a statement (obvious exception to the rule: black—you can wear it head-to-toe always.)"

What do you think, gals? Is this trend for you, or are you sticking with your beanie? Or will you do both? Share!
